MANCHESTER, May 3.--The Guardians com
| mercial article says: transactions were light
| in all departments. The tone generally
fiat Prices were firm. Filsnness does not pro
coed from the strength of the demand, Indeed
| were this alone considered the tendency would
| undoubtedly be downward Producers are so
| powerfully impressed with the narCowneSs of
margins and the threatening appearances of the
cotton market that they are certain To hold
rates. Clearly, therefore, the forces are tend
| ing toward the cmtailmeut of production, either
| by the shortening OF time or the stopping of
| machinery unless the price of cotton recedeS
| noticeable Cloth is unaltercd, but producers,
| who are well fortified with orders, show an in
| creasing desire to sell"

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
''The Liverpool opening proving disappoint-
ment to a portion of those recently credited
with buying for rise, they sold heavily at the
opening and continued free sellers during the
greater part of the day. This large offering
was well taken by the market at an average of )
points lower. Aside from this there were no
new features. The close was very steady, and
Offering both moderate and careful"
